Jun 1st, 2020 - The myeloproliferative neoplasms, polycythemia vera, essential thrombocytosis and primary myelofibrosis are hematopoietic stem cell disorders and share driver mutations that either directly activate the thrombopoietin receptor, MPL, or activate it...

Jan 31st, 2020 - Concurrent calreticulin (CALR) mutation and BCR-ABL1 fusion are extremely rare in chronic myelogenous leukemia; to date, only 12 cases have been reported. A 57-year-old male who had an 11-year history of essential thrombocytosis presented to our h...

Sep 3rd, 2019 - To make a definite diagnosis of essential thrombocytosis (ET) from reactive thrombocytosis (RT), the most reliable criteria are the presence of driver mutations, namely JAK2, CALR, or MPL gene mutations. In the absence of these driver mutations, s...

Jan 30th, 2015 - The Philadelphia chromosome–negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are clonal disorders characterized by common mutations, but with distinct clinical features, treatment considerations, and prognostic outlooks.1 Identification of the JAK2 (J...

May 1st, 2014 - Conclusion This case describes a patient with two risk factors for CVT, a life-threatening condition. It should be considered in patients with ET and/or pregnant and postpartum patients presenting with headache or other neurological symptoms.

Sep 4th, 2013 - A 62-year-old white man with a past medical history of hypertension and essential thrombocytosis diagnosed 17 years ago presented at our institution. He was being treated with hydroxyurea, with which he required occasional blood transfusions and p.

Abstract and Introduction Abstract Objectives: To compare the mutational profiles of patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), polycythemia vera (PV), and essential thrombocytosis (ET). Methods: Next-generation sequencing results of 75 cases of P...
